The Theory of Being and the Argument for Forms in Plato’s Sophist
This paper argues for two claims. First, that in the Sophist a metaphysical theory of being is constructed from the ground up, largely on the basis of a claim treated as an axiomatic principle, the ‘dunamis proposal’ (247d–e), which, I will argue, ought to be understood as Plato’s own definition of...

These include—notably—an argument for the existence of Forms. | ||
